The grain I have to be bullish on

Jump to solution

Oats, I think. Opinions appreciated.

They’ll probably have a hard time rallying if corn is under pressure for a while, but they seem to have the best fundamental case.

Spring wheat, too.

WASDE looks like it would require a drop of 3-4 kmt's in North American production (probably about 15% lower yield, given lower acreage) to really make the market tight.

That's sounds far from impossible at this moment.

I think oats are a firly inelastic market- the end users that need them really do and don't have a lot of substitutes. When they're in surplus, just a default feed grain with quality premiums for the food market.

Could probably go short corn/long oats.

Maybe 1:2 if feeling spunky.

What would you estimate as the fill period for oats in the Canadian prairies?

Oats (Globex) Daily Commodity Futures Price Chart: Sept. 2021 : CBOT (tradingcharts.com)

While the EW triangle ABCDE correction scenario in corn is looking dubious, very much alive in oats.

Canola, too.

Hadn't paid sufficient attention to the reason SBO is holding beans up.
